Lately, there has been a lot in the news about the resurgence of bedbugs. I happened to be talking to our pest control guy who comes every other month to spray around the house. We live in the South were there are cock roaches, etc just crusing around out in the yards, and streets, and one has to be careful about having them come inside!
But I asked him about bedbugs since I have been hearing about it in the national and local news. They are making some kind of big comeback! He says they have treated about 20 homes in the past month alone. Sometimes it is so bad owners have to throw out furniture and bedding.
They were saying in the national news that you can even pick them up at movie theaters! Yikes!
Anyways there is a link to an article below to help you prevent picking them up at motels, hotels, etc..... It tells you some things to look for and to do:

I heard this on our news too. It said that New York had the worst problem. I am not even sure what a bed bug would look like even if I saw one. If I am brave I will check out your link. I am not very good with bugs but luckily in England we don't get many. Ants in my garden is about all I have to worry about!

My mom goes to the Bedbug registry and it will tell you where bedbugs have been located and in what hotels.
ReplyDeleteEwww! We'll be in a motel in a couple of weeks. I'd better read up! One of my blog friends picked them up in New York last year and brought them home in her suitcase!
ReplyDeleteMy Loverbrains and I had a big talk about this recently...because of recent news articles and his major business travels. We are looking into the bags that you can use to seal your luggage upon return...to kill everything before opening,etc. Ewwww!! Thankfully, they are quite big...as big as an apple seed...so hopefully, since we're watching for them...they won't get a chance in our house! HA!
